Parade Park Hotel right beside the ground so very handy
Bit steep - £179 incl breakfast, but not too bad if there are 2 of you considering the location
I can change the name om the booking
Really nice spot stayed there last time we played them !.
Have another spot booked even closer :)

Just booked the 19.55 flight from Birmingham to Dublin on Sun 20th after the Wasps game for £20 wondering if there are enough of us on this for the OLSC to possibly consider running a bus to the airport after the game ?.

Anywhere close to Place du Capitole would be grand. The train station is just across the river - walking distance. And the stadium as well I think
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Yep any time I’ve been there I have been able to move around the ground the nearest time I’ve seen the place being full was the semi final weekend that they played Munster and the not nots played Toulouse in Twickenham !.

Know nothing about train times but I seem to remember that the train from Coventry to Brum airport takes about 15 minutes. So perhaps a taxi to the train?

Or better again. Monday off and take your time.

Seem to be quite a few of us in the same boat, Wonder would there be any chance of the OLSC looking into a coach transfer ?.

Bath will be selling them if they have any left after their season ticket holders get first dibs !.

It will probably be easier to get a season ticket holder to buy you tickets from the Leinster allocation as Bath European tickets mostly sell out to their own season ticket holders
Mind you if they lose a few more matches the level of interest there could wane although their supporters are mainly the long suffering type that attend matches even if the team are playing badly unlike our legendary brothers

Always try and get a terrace ticket for this one !.

Seems like there will be a good few of us all trying to make the same flight it would be fantastic if it was possible to get some sort of transport direct from the game, in the past the OLSC have sometimes been able to organise a bus I wonder if this is still possible ?.

This crowd, Centurian, seem to have a link with Bath Rugby so they might be happy to sort out coach travel for you to the airport. I guess you would need to have firm numbers etc first but it might be worth asking them about the possibility.

Hi Domhnallj thanks for the info as always it’s the Away game against Wasps that I was wondering about ?.
